Asafoetida Essential Oil

Asafoetida Essential Oil is a high-impact aromatic material obtained from the resin of Ferula assa-foetida. Its powerful odor profile restricts use to low dosage levels and application-specific systems, depending on formulation intent.

Asafoetida Essential Oil has a pungent, sulfurous, earthy, slightly garlic or onion-like aroma, and is therefore mostly used as a very sparingly used note in blends to add depth, complexity, and a different character to the formula.

Applications

Pharmaceutical preparations, traditional systems, specialty food formulations.
